Global Industrial Robot Arm Market Growth 2026-2032
Description
The global Industrial Robot Arm market size is predicted to grow from US$ 1115 million in 2025 to US$ 3882 million in 2032; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 19.6% from 2026 to 2032.
In 2025, the global production of Industrial Robot Arms reached 427,200 units, with an average selling price of US$2,668.75 per unit. Companies produced 1,000 units annually, achieving a gross profit margin of 34.56%. An Industrial Robot Arm is a robotic arm used to perform specific tasks in automated production processes. It typically consists of a multi-joint system (such as 6-axis or 7-axis) capable of precisely performing tasks in industrial environments, such as welding, painting, assembly, handling, packaging, and inspection. Industrial robot arms offer high efficiency, high precision, and repeatability, enabling continuous 24-hour operation, significantly improving productivity and reducing labor costs. They often require complex control systems and can operate in hazardous environments, such as high temperatures, high pressures, and toxic gases, thus replacing manual labor in dangerous, heavy, or delicate tasks. In terms of axis count, six-axis collaborative robots remain the absolute mainstream in the market, primarily due to their mature technology, wide applicability, and cost-effectiveness. Seven-axis collaborative robots, however, are experiencing faster growth in high flexibility, path planning, and complex operational scenarios, becoming a growth highlight for future high-end flexible manufacturing. In the coming years, with the continued application of AI integration, lightweight design, and more intelligent motion control technologies, the market share of seven-axis and higher degrees of freedom products is expected to steadily increase.
In recent years, the global Industrial Robot Arm market has shown a booming development trend, with companies increasing their investment in the research and development of 7-axis collaborative robot technology to improve robot performance and functionality. Elephant Robotics' myArm 300 PI is the world's first desktop-grade integrated 7-axis collaborative robot. Major international manufacturers include Yaskawa Motoman (a subsidiary of Yaskawa Electric Corporation of Japan), Kassow Robots (Denmark), and Productive Robotics (California, USA). Domestic companies mainly include: Elephant Robotics (Shenzhen), Han's Robotics (Shenzhen), Duco Robotics (Shanghai), Tyco Robotics (Shenzhen), and Zhongke Shengu (Hefei). While there are many manufacturers of collaborative robots, and relatively few companies currently offer 7-axis collaborative robot products, market competition for 7-axis collaborative robots will intensify.
Market Development Drivers: Industrial upgrading will bring substantial market demand. The global labor shortage is becoming increasingly severe, especially in labor-intensive industries such as manufacturing and logistics. To improve production efficiency, product quality, and competitiveness, traditional industries are upgrading their operations, leading to a growing demand for automated equipment. 7-axis collaborative robots, with their high precision and flexibility, are becoming a crucial driver of this upgrading.
Technological advancements are the fundamental support for the performance improvement and functional expansion of 7-axis collaborative robots. Continuous upgrades and innovations in technologies such as artificial intelligence and sensors will bring more application scenarios and business models, such as assisting with medical surgery and commercial services, enabling collaborative development across multiple industries. However, the relatively high cost of 7-axis collaborative robots and the unresolved technological challenges undoubtedly limit their widespread application in some SMEs and developing countries.
Future Development Trends
Intelligentization remains a key trend in the continuous advancement of collaborative robots. With the continuous development and application of technologies such as machine learning and deep learning, the learning and decision-making abilities of 7-axis collaborative robots will continuously improve, making them more adaptable to complex environmental changes and improving work efficiency and quality. More diverse interaction methods, such as voice interaction and gesture interaction, will be more widely used in robots, enabling more natural and efficient communication and cooperation with humans. For example, JetCobot, a 7-axis vision collaborative robot from Yabo Intelligent Technology, is equipped with cameras and combines machine vision and deep learning algorithms to perform functions such as color interaction, gesture interaction, and label recognition.
Furthermore, as application scenarios and fields continue to expand, the lightweight development of 7-axis collaborative robots will be a major trend. Using lightweight, high-strength materials, such as adding carbon fiber, can reduce the robot's weight and size, enabling it to operate stably in more demanding working environments. For instance, Elephant Robotics' Mercury A1 robot incorporates materials including carbon fiber, aluminum alloy, and engineering plastics. Tyco Robotics' lightweight 7-axis collaborative robot, the TC7, has a minimum weight of 9kg and a payload capacity of up to 3kg.
